Re: Rank manufacturer quality....looking for bowrider.
I owned a boat about 25 years ago, a Welcraft and thought it was a good boat at the time. When I started looking to buy a boat a little over a year ago I did some research as to what were the top brands much like you are doing. Basically the ones that are listed to stay away from are probably more important than the ones to look for.
I am very pleased with my Crownline and it was not even one of the brands I wasl looking for. I did like the Celebrity line years ago, but did not know that Crownline actually bought out Celebrity. I found that out after I bought my boat.
I get compliments on the looks of my boat almost every time I go out. People can not believe it is 11 years old. Don't really know if that's due to the boat brand or due to the fact that it has been well taken care of which is way more important than the brand.
